You can get deeper bass from your Polk soundbar with this $99 wireless subwoofer deal

JBL and Samsung are still selling their soundbars with wireless subwoofers at great prices at the moment. The former has its BAR 1000 and BAR 700 models at their lowest, which the latter has the Q900F, Q800F, and Q600F, at least prices.

If, however, you already have a soundbar, like the Polk Audio React, say, then you can add a subwoofer and get deeper bass; and now is the best time to pick one up as the React wireless sub is on sale for just $99 (purchase link down below).

Unlike what some may feel like, a subwoofer is not there to make the bass louder, well technically yes, but in the way that makes your system boom more, that's what is known as the "boomy bass" and that is not something desirable, although some do like it.

Instead, the subwoofer is supposed to augment the low end of your main speakers such that the bass/sub-bass from the subwoofer naturally blends with your main speaker's mid-bass/bass.

The React subwoofer does not list too many spec details but Polk Audio claims that it can go down to 25 Hz. The unit comes with a high excursion long throw 7 inch bass driver and even with high excursion (high Xmax), it is never easy for a 7 inch driver to dig so deep. Since Polk does not quite disclose the SPL (sound pressure level) of the product at this 25 Hz frequency, it is probably safe to say that the dB output in this deep bass range is going to be much lower than its average SPL at frequencies like the 40-80 Hz spectrum.

It is worth noting that most of the music actually lies above the 30 Hz range and thus if you are a music listener, the low output below 30 Hz won't even be noticeable. For movies, this sub should deliver plenty of oomph, and you will only miss the deepest of rumbles, but for just $99, can you even complain on missing out the lowest octaves?
